Flight Instructor Rating – Grade 3

The instructor rating is an excellent pathway to take your career to the next level as a career instructor, or as a valuable component to further build your career as a commercial pilot.

At Par Avion Flight Training we pride ourselves on the depth and quality of our team of experienced flight instructors. They have a passion for aviation and teaching and you will benefit and draw from these aspects during your course.

The course has a strong focus on the skills you will need to teach, assess and support students. You will spend time in the classroom and one-on-one time with your instructor learning the craft of teaching and how to apply those skills effectively in aviation settings.

Your aeronautical knowledge will be greatly expanded and challenged as you learn to teach sequences from effects of controls to basic instrument flying, short field operations –through to advanced skills such as night navigation.

You will undertake dual training in the aircraft with one of our experienced Grade 1 instructors, and you will spend time in the aircraft with fellow students (and/or Grade 3 instructors) —taking the role of student and instructor at different times. This provides ample time to practice and build your skills in an authentic context.

Undertaking the rating with us offers you many advantages. We have the facilities, staff and environment to ensure you receive the best in authentic instructor training. Our instructors are highly experienced, passionate about teaching and learning and dedicated to helping you become a quality flight instructor. Find out more…
